I need help to store images in database
hi,
at present i am working in oracle, i need one help.
i want to create one directory in c:\drive and i have to store and retreive my images in that directory.i want to do in oracle only,i am not using any front end. i need coding for that,please give me coding to do that.first i have to store that images in my table.that image is in my desktop,how to call that image and how to store that image in my table and how to store that image in that directory. please give coding and ideas for that,help meeeeeeeeeeeeee.
You need to create a oracle directory which will point to the physical directory where picture or image file lies...
For this you need create directory privillege
Once you create the oracle directory..
Please see my sample try
create table sample_bfile(id number,photo bfile);
insert into sample_bfile values (1,bfilename('<oracle_dir_name>','<file_name>');
This will insert into the reference of the image in the column...
But you cant select this column in sqlplus which u might be knowing...
Then you can access the image with the front end
Regards,
Shasi

How to store images in database and retrieve them back to page?
Well I don't know how to store an image file to a database (say MSSQL) from the JSP and retrieve it back whenever needed and put it on the JSP page? Please help me.
I am not sure how to store images in database but what you can do is store the image into particular folder using FileOutputStream and its unique name into the database...and than retrieve it from the folder using that name retrieved from database...

how to store images in database using java..........
Message was edited by:
naveennagaI asked a similar question once and the answer I got was - Don't.
Instead, store the images on a drive somewhere and store the path in the database.
But I'm no expert - that's just what I was told by someone who does this kind of stuff a lot.
Hope that helps. -

Waiting for quick reply,
thankscan u plss tell me how to store the path of the image in database , do we just have to mention it as varchar field and write the path thats it or do we have to do anything else . and pls also tellme when do we have to set connections ? only at the time to retrieving the images since we are not uploading the image sin DB just mentioning their path . pls reply ASAP

How t store images in database
hi
i want coding to store images,files in databasehi,
You can use the BLOB data type provided by oracle to store images in the database. BLOB (Binary Large Object). To Store data into the table, we need to use the DBMS_LOB package to manipulate the data and then store it in the table.
BFILE are used in combination with the BLOB to get the images into the database.
Thanks, VIkram -
I need help dividing an image into two equal parts in Adobe Illustrator CC--ASAP!!!
I need help dividing a single, already created image into 2 equal parts...Am getting nowhere so far
Hi Willi, thanks so much for responding! Below is the image I need to divide in half. The left half where it says "Click here for the definition" links to a landing page where people can read the definition of the Hebrew Word. The right half links to an audio recording of the Hebrew word being spoken aloud. I am trying to figure out how to use the scissors or knife tool in Adobe Illustrator and am having no luck. Plus I believe there's a way to include URLs on each separated part, but I can't get past figuring out how to cut it. My background is not graphic design

Need help [JS]: select images/captions in InD, switch to Bridge and write to XMP
I've got a javascript for CS3/Tiger that I'm writing that eventually will let a user select an image and a caption in InDesign, then tells bridge to write the caption data into the image metadata. I need help - the script works in pieces, but not when put together.
It's built as an indesign script, then follows the procedure to create a script object to send to bridge. When it runs, the indesign portion works fine, but nothing happens in bridge.
The script is below, with comments.
Can someone help!? Thanks.
// This is the InDesign portion of the script, which was tested separately and is working fine. Right now, for testing purposes, the data from this portion isn't even used by the later Bridge portion but once I get the bridge part together, it will use those variables.
#target "indesign-5.0"
var myObjectList = new Array;
//Script does nothing if no documents are open or if no objects are selected.
if(app.documents.length != 0){
if(app.selection.length != 0){
for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < app.selection.length; myCounter ++){
switch(app.selection[myCounter].constructor.name){
case "TextFrame":
var myCaption = app.selection[myCounter].contents;
$.writeln(myCaption);
break;
default:
var myLink = app.selection[myCounter].graphics[0].itemLink.filePath;
$.writeln(myLink);
// here's where I create the string of the script to send to Bridge.
// the script itself is almost completely a lifted from the SnpModifyMetadta sample from the Bridge sdk
// it basically finds a certain image file and modifies the description metatata. i hardcoded the caption text and image path just for testing- eventually i would like it to use the variables from indesign.
// this script works fine as-is when run in the original Bridge scripting context.
// the method here of concatenating and sending the myScript string works fine when i use a different (smaller) script. so i can't tell why it's not working!?

I rechecked my previous post and found a couple of serious mistakes. So I revised it according to what he asked. Each page in his InDesign document contains one image and one text frame with description.
At start the script checks the selection. If nothing is selected it processes all pages in the document. In case two objects are selected – it checks whether one of them text frame and the other a rectangle and if the rectangle contains an image, then it reads the contents of the text frame, replacing hard and soft returns with spaces and writes this text to the corresponding image’s description field.
In the end, it updates all links and saves the file.
The script works both on Mac and PC, assuming that CS3 installed in the default location so long as it depends on libraries:
/C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Bridge CS3/AdobeXMPScript.dll (on PC)
/Applications/Adobe Bridge CS3/Bridge CS3.app/Contents/MacOS/AdobeXMPScript.framework (on MAC)
So, if necessary, correct these lines.
Here is my script in case somebody is interested:

var mySelection = app.selection;

I am in need of help!!! Added photos in an important .pdf document (a worksheet form that was pre-made) and I added image fields (Top box photo and small bottom box for text). I need to delete some image fields now and it won't let me. I upgraded my Adobe Reader to Acrobat XI Pro trial, still can't. If I try to edit image, it says I need to have Live Cycle designer to edit this form. Someone please help! This is my son's Eagle Scout worksheet and needs to be fixed tonight....please
If the file was created in LiveCycle Designer then it can only be edited
there.
It's not clear in what way you edited it originally. -

Hi,
I'm designing an applet for some extra credit and I need help.
This game that i have designed is called "Digit Place Game", but there is no need for me to explain the rules.
The problem is with images.
When I start the game using 'appletviewer', it goes to the main menu:
http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/946/menuhy0.png
Which is all good.
But I decided that when you hover your cursor over one of the options such as: Two-Digits or Three-Digits, that the words that are hovered on turn green.
http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/6231/select1ch3.png
So i use the mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) from awt.event;
The problem is that when i move the mouse around the applet has thick line blotches of gray/silver demonstrated below (note: these are not exact because my print screen doesn't take a picture of the blotches)
http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/4974/annoyingmt1.png
It also lags a little bit.
I have 4 images in my image folder that's in the folder of the source code
The first one has all text blue. The second one has the first option, Two-Digits green but rest blue. The third one has the second option, Three-Digits green but rest blue, etc.
this is my code

I need help editing an image in Photoshop
I need to edit this image.
I need to reposition the fist shape a little further down remaining within the yellow circle. Then I also need to change all blue parts to black and the yellow outline around the knuckles to white.
How would I do this in Photoshop?Put a circular selection round the fist and press Ctrl+J.
Hide the resulting new layer and fill the circle with yellow.
Select the blue area with the magic wand and fill the selection with black.
Select the yellow round the fist and fill the selection with white.
Go to the fist layer, press Ctrl+T and move it down as far as you want, (Not much room there.)
For print, save as a TIFF; for Internet use Save for Web. -
Need help finding moved image files
How would I find files after they have been moved? I travel and use a MB Pro laptop. The workflow I'm using is to download images to my desktop, review, rate and add keywords immediately. I make 2 backups, 1 to portable data store hard drive and one to DVD. Then every few days I erase the desktop image files. When I arrive home I download the entire trip's images from the portable storage to my desktop drives (2 500Gb SATA drives).
Is there an easy way to direct Aperture to look for the files in the new location? Or, failing that, is there a better way to work? I regularly have 40 - 60 Gb of images after a trip and the laptop hard drive is inadequate for the task.The question isn't really clear to me yet. If you know what "the new location" is, then it's easy to make Aperture point to it. But that may not be the question. I think you may need to describe your workflow in more detail.
You don't say how to review etc images on the MBP. If you're using Aperture, it must be with a library. Are you using Managed images there? So is the problem how to transfer data -- images and edits and metadata -- from the library on the MBP to the library (with referenced images??) on the desktop?
Synchronizing libraries is not something Apple makes easy or offers any real help with. The best way to do it turns out to be to export one project at a time, connect to the other machine and its library, and import the projects. (In the process you might also Relocate images to make them referenced.)
But your note about the laptop drive being to small is confusing. I don't see where your images are when you're on the road. -
Hey
I realize what Im asking for might be complicated. But any
help or direction I can get will be appreciated.
I want to right something that will take a photo realistic
image, say maybe a 400x300 photo of anything really, and cut out
peices of the photo, so that I can manipulate these peices after.
For example...if its a photo of a guy riding a bike and hes wearing
a blue shirt....I want to cut out the blue shirt part and change
its color on the fly, just by clicking on the blue shirt.
Any ideas??
Oh and does this process have a name?Yes, you're right - it is complicated!
The reason is that with a photo of a guy wearing a blue
shirt, that blue shirt is actually made up of hundreds of different
subtle shades of blue.
So to implement this, you'd need to perform a number steps,
some of which are fairly complex:
1) allow the user to select a point in the image
2) read the colour at that point. You might find you need to
take an average of a small area around that point to get a better
approximation of the percieved colour at that point because the
colour of pixels within a seemingly 'flat' area of colour can
actually vary significantly. (this is why the photoshop inkdropper
tool offers 3x3 and 5x5 average options).
3) gradually 'scan' outwards from the pixel coordinate
clicked on, checking each adjacent pixel in the image and comparing
the difference in colour value against the initial colour selected
(using getPixel). If it is within a certain tolerance, you can
include it in the selection. You'll need to create an array or
another image object to store the results in. Repeat this process
until there are no more adjacent pixels that fall within the colour
tolerance range.
4) Use an RGB->HSB routine to convert the colour values to
HSB, so that you can then adjust the 'Hue' value, and finally
convert back to RGB. I have one here:
http://robotduck.com/content/articles/director/imageManipulation/shiftHue.txt
And whether it has a name?..
well, the tool which selects an area within a certain colour
range in photoshop is called the 'magic wand', so I guess that's a
good way to refer to it - a magic wand function. And to change the
colour by 'rotating' the colour values through the colour spectrum
(which is what my example code does) is called 'shifting the hue'
of the colours.
hope this helps!

Dw cs5 with existing wordpress site hosted on yahoo need help connecting to existing remote database
I am having trouble establishing a database connection. I can connect with test databases but am having trouble using dreamweaver wtih my existing wordpress website.

MySQL Error#: 2013
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error 61
did some google seaches of the error. Tried turning off the firewall, and the advance tab allow mysql incoming (there were 2 one was allow one was not allow. I changed both to allow)
Cant really find anything on yahoo to help me out. Looked in phpmyadmin database named wp: wp_users to get the username and password (which due to previous look for help - I think the password was encrypted cuz it looked like a bunch of mumbo jumbo and am fairly certain I know the correct password).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I spent $50 on live chat last night trying to resolve the issue only to find out at the end that the guy really didn't understand my problem and doesn't have dreamweaver. I have also watched countless videos on Lynda.com and have been thru forum after forum. While this problem is only a couple weeks old since I just got CS5. I have been having trouble making any headway learning php since I cant seem to make it past the set up parts. I have done the php / mysql essential training on lynda.com with relative success except that I really dont want to work with any more exercise files so I didn't go on to the beyond the basics. I recently went thru most of the Dreamweaver CS5 and Wordpress 3. Also did the first 4 chapters of Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL. I need to start integrating things into my live sites. I am also trying to work my way thru the learning php, mysql, javascript book by o'reily media by robin nixon (as fun as reading a math text book) can't get thru it since I can't relate any of it to my current sites/needs
I am on MacBookPro OSX 10.6.6
Installed MAMP to specification on all 20 tutorials I have tried including lynda.com
Tested the testing server and is working
Just installed dreamweaver cs5
have been using wordpress online to create and edit posts (recently upgraded to 3.? whatever the latest update was online which I believe update the files on my yahoo server?)
Have also installed wordpress on my computer (several times thru each tutorial trying to get this right.)
Am I expecting the impossible?If wordpress controls it's own connection why am I unable to use the live view. I have synced the remote site to my local computer so all the files should be just as they are online with the exception of the DB which contains most of the content.
I have done all of those steps. I have even exported the database from inside internet phpmyadmin and imported into computer phpmyadmin. When I hit live view I get one of couple of errors.
1. "One is that the dynamic related files could not be displayed due to an internal server error"
At some point I was able to view some sample files inside dreamweaver. But I would like to be able to view my real site files. I was able to "connect" to the local databases (not the copy of my real one - I think that maybe that was because it is somehow nested inside another db an am going try to reimport to new location). And then I changed the host/username/password trying to deal with the internal server error. Now instead I get the cannot connect to the database Error 2016 or whatever from the origianl post. Also, I am using yahoo if that matters and all I can find about what their server name is: mysql - is that correct?
I have been thru this so many times with so many different tutorials I am losing track of what is what.
2. Can I access my remote database within dreamweaver? I do not want to create dummy files (seems to be a waste of time). And while if it had worked exporting/importing a duplicate on to my computer would have satisfied me for a little while it also seems some what counter productive. Since every post and page is different if I were doing a daily updates etc how would I be able to change the formating or design of them if I can't access the remote files. Would I re- import everytime I want to work on it to get current database?
I am trying to be clear. I listed all the specs I could think as listed in your "how to get help fast post" (yes I read that at least twice too) of all of the steps and possible reasons for my problems. I also thought that the forum was on a seperate site so I didn't think it would count as a duplicate. I am frustrated to tears and am feeling incredibly stupid that after all this time and all these tutorials yes you are right I obviously am not understanding what is going on which is why I am on this forum.
